lm_sensors on a Gigabyte GA-Z68-UD3H-B3

lm-sensors version 3.3.1 doesn't have support for my motherboard voltage reading yet. It did successfully read the cpu core temperatures, which is good. To get it to read the voltage settings I looked at http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices and my particual chip is under the IT8728F. I downloaded the standalone makefile and it87.c. Making certain to have build essentials

sudo apt-get install build-essential

I then compiled, installed, and loaded it into modprobe

make all
sudo make install
sudo modprobe it87

The output of of running sensors now gives me voltage and fan information, but I need to check out what all of those values correspond to and make a config file to use and submit here http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/Configurations.


Here is information on how to get sensors detect up and working https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto.

Personally I had to add coretemp and it87 manualy to /ect/modules.

Thanks. This same chip is also on the Gigabyte-Z77X-UD3H and the instructions you give work perfectly.

Thanks for your Posting!
Instructions also works fine for a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H.
